Inferno

Audacious, Like
a tendril unashamedThe
fire coiled itself over the otherFluttered,
defiantly in searing windStroked
a spine as it slithered upLipped
the defenceless neck that quiveredBurnt
the nape with its tapered tip.

One
surrenderedThe
other devoured

Licking, flame by flame

The
third watchedLike
the cactus watched the rosemary and bee.

All
three writhedTheir
heart an inferno.

About Me

When he realized that he wasn’t made out for a corporate job, Ritesh Agarwal quit CA and took up writing as a full-time profession. He also enjoys teaching, taking amateurish photographs with his over-expensive camera and penning short stories (when he is not procrastinating, that is). Having reviewed dozens of books by dozens of authors, he is hoping that someday somebody would review ‘Lovelets’, the anthology in which he finally got published.
A multi-tasker at heart, he is also planning a career in baby-sitting and story-reading. If you have lots of babies or just wish to indulge in bookish chitchats, you can catch him at Facebook on www.facebook.com/RiteshIsGreatest or toss a friendly email at ritzy182000@gmail.com
